Mel Krieger died this morning.

I just received this message from Fanny Krieger. As most of you know Mel had been suffering from brain lymphoma – a cancerous tumor in the brain and was hospitalized over the entire summer. He apparently died quietly. Good Bye Mel. We will miss you........Anne

Dear Friends:

It is with great sadness that I write to let you know that Mel passed away this morning at 3:30AM on his final grand adventure.

Although he had been very ill for a while, it is still very painful to face the fact. At least, his illness did not cause him pain and he went very peacefully and his spirit will be with us for a long time.
